TICKETS
One Great Experience, Two Great Tickets
All aboard for a magical Christmas adventure! We offer two ticket options for THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride Birmingham: Classic and First Class.
Adult and child tickets are priced the same, and all guests require a valid ticket to travel. Infants under the age of two can join the experience as a 'baby on lap' ticket.
Whichever ticket you choose, you'll enjoy an unforgettable journey filled with festive fun, music, storytelling and Christmas magic.
